CULTIVATING
DESERT POWER
Dune and Dune: Part Two have captivated long-term and new fans of the immersive
universe created by Frank Herbert in his 1965 novel. Set in the year 10191, on the brink
of an interstellar conflict, the story chronicles young Paul Atreides’ rise to the calling
of his noble heritage. By order of the omnipotent Emperor, Paul is thrust into unfamiliar
territory on planet Arrakis, also known as Dune, which is inhabited by powerful desert
warriors, the Fremen, and the only known planet to produce the precious spice.
As the treacherous Baron Harkonnen turns against the Atreides family, Paul uncovers
the deepest secrets of the planet, its people and his own destiny.
Riddled with gargantuan sandworms known to the Fremen as Shai-Hulud, the
inhospitable desert world is perilous to travel by land. Flying vehicles are vital to
survival. The ornithopter is built to withstand Arrakis’ scorching heat, sandstorms and
winds of more than 800 km/h (497 mph). It plays a pivotal role in several key sequences,
starting with the Atreides family’s arrival at the capital city of Arrakeen and Duke Leto’s
inspection of a spice-harvesting operation, where Paul first experiences the open desert.
Reminiscent of a dragonfly, with no computer systems, the ornithopter’s eight wings
can fold up against its body while grounded or during quick dives, and flap rapidly when
extended. The vehicle’s landing legs retract to optimise its aerodynamic properties.
